    OK... well I'm going out on a limb and saying that more than likely, the red was too thick. Again, if the line lays out nice, awesome, but I have never NOT been able to reduce to get a better consistancy in the paints, aside from silver. You'll notice when you get good mix the lines will start dragging out longer too, brush loads better.

    What I do is have a cup of paint and a cup of thinner, and I just mix them on an old phone book as I'm going, so I can constantly adjust how thin my paint is.

    Ok cool, next time I will try and reduce the red and see how it comes out. I used an old magazine as my pallet.

    yeah that works... I think you'll like the results when thinning those out. I've noticed that red, black, and sometimes white tend to be the thickest colors, not sure why...

    You'll know you're too thin when it starts acting like that silver... I hate that damn silver...

    Great substrate idea! Wonderful thing is, Oneshot sticks to glass great, but you can scrape it off later with a blade if you want.
